Hogwarts Legacy was notable for its exclusion of a full-fledged Quidditch mini-game, but if you’re still looking to scratch that itch, then say hello to Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions.
Freshly announced at the Summer Game Fest 2024 opening event this evening, Harry Potter Quidditch Champions does exactly what it says on the tin, with players competing in Quidditch matches and proving themselves as the best of the best. If you’ve ever watched a Harry Potter film or read the books, this should be right up your street.
What’s more, the game will be available for PS Plus members between September 3 – 30 at no extra charge.

Warner Bros. Games President, David Haddad, and Paul Ohanian, Chief Executive Officer of Unbroken Studios, commented:
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions gives fans a chance to delve further into the Harry Potter world with the thrill of playing this beloved, fantastical sport. The team has worked to capture the spirit of Quidditch, including iconic characters and never-before-seen areas of the wizarding world.
The team is excited to unveil Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions and showcase our take of this magical sport. We’ve worked hard to create a Quidditch game to play solo or with friends, that is an authentic representation of the fan-favorite sport.
Quidditch is an integral part of Harry Potter lore, first appearing in the 1997 novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. It’s depicted as a dangerous sport but very popular among witches and wizards, and is played on a massive oval pitch with three ring-shaped goals of different heights on each side.
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is launching for PS5, PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One on September 3, 2024.
